One commenter — “Pedro” — suggested that Ed write under a pseudonym. I’m for it. I tried to persuade him to stay on as a contributor. I thought, well, some say WHWG is a kind of think tank as well as a communications and policy consulting firm — so why not create a WHWG Fellows position, with Ed as the first fellow. He could take the new job and keep sharing his wit and thoughts with all of us, too. Sounded good to me. But Ed felt his duty to his new employer wouldn’t allow it. Maybe we can lure him back to Podium Pundits once he’s settled in. I hope his employer will say yes. In the meantime, he remains a friend. All of us and WHWG and WWW, too, I am sure, wish him well in his new post.
